Author and critic Glen Dromgoole wrote about The Return of Innocence: A Fantasy Adventure in his Texas authors column, which appears in The Abilene Reporter News, The Bryan-College Station Eagle, The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, and many other newspapers across the lone star state. That installment of Dromgoole’s column also covers works from Elmer Kelton, James A. Mangum, Mike Kearby, Pete Brewton, Carol Jo Parsons, Ronda Thompson, L. C. Hayden, and Judith McNaught.
